ZATCA urges businesses to file July VAT returns by August 31, 2026

The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) has called on businesses subject to value-added tax (VAT) with annual supplies exceeding 40 million riyals (SAR) to submit their VAT returns for July by August 31, 2026.

The authority stated that filing and payment can be completed through the ZATCA mobile app, emphasizing the importance of meeting the deadline to avoid late penalties ranging from a minimum of 5% to a maximum of 25% of the due tax amount.

ZATCA also encouraged business taxpayers seeking more information about VAT to contact the authority via the unified call center at 19993, available 24/7, through the "Ask Zakat, Tax and Customs" account on X (@Zatca_Care), by email at [email protected], or through live chat on the authority’s website.
